As per <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1843267118944731450\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, Garnacho will not be able to play for the Argentina national team during the international break after suffering from &#8220;discomforts&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/09\/26\/manchester-united-leny-yoro-return-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Will Not Take Risks\u2019: Man Utd Make Key Decision On Potential Return For \u00a3115K-P\/W Injured Star<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He adds that the national team boss Lionel Scaloni is going to take him out of his squad for Argentina&#8217;s upcoming matches in the international break and replace him with someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Romano also claims that Garnacho will be assessed by the United medical staff to determine the extent of his injury and how his recovery plan will go like. This comes after Erik ten Hag witnessed Harry Maguire hobble off at half-time in the draw against Villa while summer signing Noussair Mazraoui also sustained an injury, which forced him to go off at the break.<\/p>\n<h3>How Has Garnacho Reacted To This Set-Back?<\/h3>\n<p>The young winger is clearly gutted to not represent his national team in the October international break due to the issue he sustained in the previous match. He has revealed the reason for having to pull out of the Argentine squad, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/garnacho7\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stating<\/a>: &#8220;I had knee problems in the last two matches, and I won&#8217;t be able to be with the national team.
